DHS-PB-2021-012 (R1): Medical Appropriateness Procedure(September 15, 2022)
DHS provides temporary shelter to individuals while they seek permanent housing. DHS does not operate medical or respite shelters. Single adult facilities do not provide and can not accommodate onsite home care services for individuals who are dependent on such care for their activities of daily living. Only medically appropriate individuals can be admitted into the single adult shelter system. Individuals entering DHS shelters must be able to independently care for themselves after DHS fulfills their approved reasonable accommodations, which may include reasonable accommodations for home care services.
